The Tenderfoot Creek Cabin was perfect! The property was immaculate, beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed (and more!) to prepare our meals. The peaceful yard and creek were perfect for morning coffee and evening relaxing. Located very close to Highway 16, access to most anything you would want to do is very accessible. Hope to be back soon!

Quiet location but still convenient to many attractions. Kitchen was well equipped and the house stayed warm even during some chilly nights. Kathleen communicated clearly and promptly with check in and check out instructions. The Custer State Park annual pass was an unexpected bonus, and we strongly recommend its Needles Highway and Wildlife loop drives for future visitors.

It was wonderful. Better than we expected. Clean, and fully furnished. It will definitely be a getaway in the future.The pictures are a "little" deceptive, because it's situated about 100 yards from a major US highway paved with concrete. (loud tire noise)You can't sit outside on the porch or yard and enjoy the beautiful setting because of the constant highway noise, including semi trucks.The cabin was laid out very well, and so comfy! Everything worked well. There were food staples in the cabinets, condiments, and lots of little extras to make you feel at home.(plastic garbage bags, lots of pots & pans, knives, dishes, etc.)It's situated well as a "base camp" for taking in all that the Black Hills have to offer. (Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Keystone, Custer State Park, Custer.) We traveled all day sightseeing, and only traveled about 50 miles! The Black Hills are beautiful. You're also reasonably close to Rapid City, Sturgis, and Spearfish.

A beautiful unit and an amazing area. Easy access to some of the unique, not to be missed, offerings of the Black Hills. The kitchen was set up nice. We couldn't find a lighter for the outdoor gas fireplace. An upgrade to the gas fireplace would be the only suggested improvement. Thank you for an amazing experience!
